¹⁹Then Jesus walked a little farther. As he did, he saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat preparing their nets. ²⁰Right away he called out to them. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men. Then they followed Jesus.

Think!

God asks His children to follow Him. You do not have to wait until you grow up. You can begin now! Follow Jesus by loving Him and obeying His Word. Let His Holy Spirit change you to be like Him.

When you grow up, you can keep following Jesus. No matter if you are a farmer, a truck driver, a doctor or a missionary, you can follow Him. Are you following Jesus today?

You can pray like this:

Dear God, please help me be a good follower. Change me on the inside to be more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
